In 2012, Teekay Australia signed on to manage the Royal Australian Navy’s (RAN) newest vessel, Australian Defence Vessel ADV Ocean Shield, further advancing Teekay Australia’s growing relationship with the Commonwealth of Australia Government and Defence department. Ocean Shield became the first vessel for RAN with full civilian crew and full civilian technical management. Of course, Ocean Shield became best known in 2014 as the vessel participated in the international search for missing Malaysian Airlines plane MH370 in the Indian Ocean, dragging a towed pinger locator on the look-out for wreckage of the missing airliner.- MH370: Australia’s Ocean Shield picks up two black box-type signals
